Hi Everyone, We are building a 44' x 36' garage with a 12' 6" ceiling. I want more than enough lighting- my brother and I (twins) are 69 years old. I want clean looking lights. We had 2'x2' LED panels that were about 1.25" deep in our last garage and liked them- but they are kind of...

We just poured, last month, our 6-7" 4300 PSI 36x44 garage floor. We had it power growled and the saw cut for expansion joints. I think they come out nicer than hand trowled expansion joints. You have to have joints to control cracking. We have 2 pits (14" deep and filled with rock, rebar...

Really nice rack for storage. The entire garage looks like it would be a very enjoyable space to work. :)

To the OP, very happy to see you had it stripped and now have a great looking floor.

P0234 - You are right; I should have explained what I meant by "failed" floor coatings. I mean actual coating that has lifted, maybe from hot tires, and bubbling off the floor, stained and discolored. Some lifts have been small, a couple inches and some larger. Discoloration has been from sun...

Man oh man, do I feel sorry for the OP; I would have no regrets in having that floor removed and going with contractor B, based upon his work schedule. Good luck to the OP. We just poured our 1600 sq. ft. garage floor on Tuesday. 4300 PSI, 6-7" thick, rebar on 12" centers. Power...

God yes! If you can comfortably make it bigger, do it. You will never regret it.

They start digging the foundation next week for our 36' x 44' x 14' garage! Already have the 2-post lift waiting that is 11'9". Should be plenty of room to play.

I bolted down my 4-post and the mid-rise scissor lift; I did not want either of them moving.

More lighting than you think you will ever need. I would consider adding a compressor and a hose reel in the event you ever need compressed air. I would move the compressor into a closet of its own with proper venting and then conceal the hose reel in the attic with just the hose dropping...

I always considered the area directly in front of the garage an "apron" too. I have a paved driveway we are going to replace that runs right up to the garage doors. We are going to a put in a 25-30' cement "apron" and then go with blacktop for the rest- approximately 150'.

Thanks Mike; I thought so too.

Hi guys- I need a little help please. We are in the process of building a home garage (50X40X14) and had planned to put in a 2-post BendPak lift. Recently my brother has been saying he liked the mid-rise scissor lift I had at my last home. Then my cousin told me a friend of his had a 2-post...

I have had 2 BendPak lifts, a 4-post and a mid-rise scissor lift. BendPak has been terrific and I have had no issues. We are now building a new garage, (large) and we will put a 2-Post BendPak lift in that garage.

We are in the process of building a 1,200 sq. ft. ADU with an attached 50'x40'x14' garage. We hired an architect and have plans. We hired a contractor who is well known and respected in our community and development. The hardest part of the entire process was dealing with the slow architect...

I have had 4-post as well as mid-rise scissor lifts in my home garages. The 4-post is best suited for storage in my humble opinion. The scissor lift worked very well and when not in use was flush with the floor (I recessed it into the floor) so that was nice when not in use. But for the...

For a garage, bigger is always better; once you are grading, pouring a foundation and framing walls, the cost to go bigger is not much more. For a lift I would position it so you can drive straight in the door, onto the lift. Make sure you leave enough room on all sides to be able to walk with...

Indeed. We are in the middle of clearing, burning and grading right now - in fact they have 2 burn large burn piles going as I type. They came in with a D-6 Cat and another tractor and knocked the trees over, about 40 of them, mostly oaks. Then they dug out the root balls and began grading...

Oh, I am sure we will love them. I even have my wife telling me to buy one after she has seen the commercials on Motortrend!

I hate to say it, but the Viper stool is likely the ones we will buy once our garage is completed; cry once then love the Vipers. Just broke ground on a 2K sq. ft. home garage.
